“#’Free Guy’ Breaks Free at Box Office, Banking Over $300M Worldwide<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nThe movie Free Guy<\/em><\/strong> has been the surprise of the summer and continues to exceed expectations. On Monday, the Disney\/20th Century Studios film passed $300 million at the worldwide box office, becoming just the fifth Hollywood title to cross this threshold in 2021. So far, the Ryan Reynolds film has grossed $114.1 million domestically and $203.3 million at the international box office for a total of $317.4 million.<\/p>\n

This is not just a box office win for Disney, but this is also a win for original IP as this is the only original IP film to hit $300 million in 2021 and only the second, besides Tenet<\/em>, to do so since the pandemic began. The video game<\/a>-inspired film directed by Shawn Levy is a hit with both audiences and critics as it holds an 80% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes and an A grade on Cinema Score.

\nWhile hitting $300 million seems tame compared to most blockbusters, considering Free Guy<\/em> debuted in August, right as the Delta variant began to spread, it’s a relatively impressive showing at the box office. It was also the first release by Disney to be exclusive to theaters after both Jungle Cruise<\/em> and Black Widow<\/em> had hybrid releases in theaters and on Disney+. That was a decision that’s come back to haunt Disney, based on Scarlett Johansson’s lawsuit filed against them.<\/p>\n

Free Guy<\/em>‘s box office was also given an assist as it received a release in China, an opportunity that many 2021 films still haven’t received. It premiered in China on August 27 and has grossed $89 million with a projection to finish around $93 million. It is the third highest-grossing film in China since that market reopened in July 2020.
\n
\nIn other countries, Free Guy<\/em>‘s international numbers, according to Deadline, are “led by the UK ($21.2M), Russia ($10.8M), France ($5.2M), Saudi Arabia ($4.7M), Germany ($4.6M), Japan ($4.5M), Australia ($4.3M), Spain ($3.3M) and Mexico ($3.3M).”<\/p>\n

Disney clearly has confidence in this IP as it has had a long theatrical run and Disney has confirmed, according to Ryan Reynolds, that they are interested in a sequel. On August 14, Reynolds tweeted, “Aaannnnd after 3 years messaging #FreeGuy as an original IP movie, Disney confirmed today they officially want a sequel. Woo hoo!! #irony.”<\/p>\n

In fact, Free Guy<\/em> was still making money at the box office as it came in at number 2 for the Sept. 17 weekend, posting $5.1 million. It came behind another Disney release, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/em>, which is continuing its successful domestic run, bringing in $21.6 million. However, Shang-Chi<\/em> still hasn’t been given a release date in China, which will definitely hurt its total numbers at the international box office. The rest of the top 5 includes Cry Macho<\/em>, the latest Clint Eastwood film, Candyman<\/em>, and Malignant<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Free Guy<\/em> stars Reynolds as an NPC (Non-Playable Character) in a video game world who breaks loose of the programming which keeps him doing the same things every day. He lives in a video game called Free City, a game that is a hybrid of both Grand Theft Auto<\/em> and Fortnite<\/em>. The rest of the cast includes Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Taika Waititi, and Lil Rel Howery. You can see more box office information at The Numbers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
